    Obama Approval Rating Is 68 Percent, New Nationwide Poll Shows

    What has he done so far to garner this domestic and worldwide respect? He hasn't been in office long enough to do much of anything yet. Well, he did give the Queen that Ipod, that was, like, pretty awesome.

    I wonder if that NC company would've run a tighter ship if they were union?

    Considering Cargo Van Purchase

    It is going into, but going out? I haven't been there in a while, but from what I've read here and heard from others, getting out is tough lately.

    Considering Cargo Van Purchase

    And have been for quite some time, IMHO. As to $.48 out of Laredo, well, it beats leaving on your own dime. How long do you sit to hope for more? I really DO hate cheap freight, but, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the game is being played the way the game is being played.

    Don't lock the thread. I can vouch for Dgou, he's a good guy.

    own authority

    You have the ball rolling on this and you still don't know what's going on? Hmmm... OOIDA is a great place to get info on becoming independent.

    Really? I've heard some of her stuff and, well, to each his own. Ditto LDB.

    Has anyone check out dougsterstravels.com ?

    Yeah, pretty neat, but he should have had his camera handy in Cinci.

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Wow... I'm imagining Bette Midler bringing the house to tears, singing that as her encore. But, ya know, clever analogies can make an average person sound so, ahhh, almost enlightened?

    Avatars and Screen Names

    Highway Star has been my CB handle since the '70s. The avatar? Is there anything cooler than an English Bulldog sticking it's tongue out? Seriously... Is there?

    Team rest

    Well, if nothing else, you'll sure have more than an ample opportunity to really get to know your daughter. In my 10+ years in expediting, I've never heard of a case where a van provided 2 incomes. It may exist, I've just never heard of it.

    Swine Flu

    Old geezers like that need to be concerned. My son got back from Cabo last night. No bacon related illnesses here yet.

    Speaking of White Glove.....

    The first load I hauled in my straight truck was machinery that required straps and pads. When I got in the dock, the shipper walked in the box and started strapping things down. He said he always did that, and I thought it was a good idea. He knows the machines well. Ever since, I always ask if...

    Team rest

    Flattop, will you be running with a significant other? If not, why team?

    Team rest

    The 14 hour rule is irrelevant in a team operation. Driver 1 is behind wheel for 10 while driver 2 is in the bunk. They switch and keep going.

    Team rest

    I'm not a team, but since no one's jumped in I'll give you my $.02. I think it would vary. How rested is the team at the start of the load? How does that particular team like to run? Did the load pick up in the AM or late PM? Lots of variables.

    A video worth its weight in silence!

    Ron White: "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability." I had a DOT inspection in Texas during the June blitz last year. The guy used a neat, sort of casual approach to getting consent to search my sleeper. He said I had a nice truck and he didn't see many like it with...
